      In remembrance of my grandfather SSGT. Stanley Lincoln who marched with the 3rd Army as a BAR gunner and came to the rescue of the brave soldiers trapped by the Germans at Bastogne.   He related to me how they moved so fast that he had to march on with an empty gun.   Nobody was stopping to wait for the ammunition to catch up.   At one point, he captured a dozen german soldiers with an empty BAR.   When he saw the germans crouched down behind a stone wall, he leveled the BAR and pulled the trigger.   The germans thought the CLICK they heard was the safety being thrown off the BAR..  and they dropped their weapons and surrendered.  My grandfather is gone now.   But i'm honored he passed on his experience to me.  Greatful also to print these few words on this day in memorial to his service and bravery.

My Memorial Day "project".  Below is the marker at Fort Snelling National Cemetary in Bloomington Minnesota.  It's for a 428th FS, 474th FG P38 pilot named Oliver Berg.  He joined the 474th in early November 44 and was thrown into the thick of the ground attack war during the Battle of the Bulge.  He lasted until January 29, 1945 when his burning 38 crashed in sight of his home airfield on return from another mission.  He died in the wreck.  He's from the small town of Cottonwood Minnesota and was 28 at the time of his death.  A while back I decided to find out what I could about him.  I was lucky enough to get to talk to his roommate with the 428th who told me a bit about him. Just this week another pilot who went through training with him also turned up.  I've also been lucky enough to get some help in his home town and have the numbers of a couple of people who knew him I hope to talk to this week. 

I got the B&W photo from his room mate with the 428th FS.  Oliver Berg is the guy in the center, and also the one I'm using for my avatar these days.  We have to make sure we don't forget these people who gave up their tomorrows for our todays.  <S>

One comment about the posts here, Memorial Day is not Veterans Day.  Memorial Day was created by Union veterans of the Civil War to be a day of rememberance for those who had fallen in war.

I would like to remember Maj Mark Rosenberg, killed on April 8th.  He was killed by an EFP (nasty things those).  Though the driver did not die I would also like to give thanks to him, SSG James, you are a good man, keep fighting bro! <SALUTE> my friends.
